I carry your heart with me (I love you)

We thought he had found the house of our life, however the last minute the seller backed out. Ok, no problem, it means that it was not our house, it wasn't meant to be.
But today is a new day, and something magical will happen, I keep looking at the sky and knowing that there are no limits, zero limits to our happiness ,ho'oponopono .
We found each other after a lifetime search, and we didn't have to fall in love because we new from the first moment that we were soul mates, we we born in love with each other, just spent a little time travelling the world before coming back to our love. 
I met the man of my life in another universe and time, and we share our lives, finally, so... I could say that we already have our home, 
our hearts are home.

Mood and happiness and... haha!

It all depends on mood
every day can be spectacular, if you decide that it has to be,so  we must roll up our sleeves and choose to be happy even when the pieces of the jigsaw don't seem to fit. I believe that the evolution of my life, the becoming of my story , are the sum of all past memories. I can choose to undergo the past passively or keep memories as education and progress, I decided to choose the second.
 I'm not scared and even in subjection,  I'm ready to wear the mantle and hold high the shield.
It all depends on the mood
then I choose to be in a good mood, to be grateful and happy.Things that need to  be changed will change and I'll keep smiling.It is a challenge, every day.  and I'm not afraid.
It all depends on mood
We are made of light and dreams and infinite, we are the whole universe without limits.
and if in doubt, laugh!
